The pen worked a few times then every selection started registering as incorrect. I put brand new, name brand, quality batteries in twice - still incorrect. I cleaned the tip as directed by EI - still incorrect. Now it's just a useless toy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, this was helpful. My kids enjoyed playing with this for a little while. I could see that they were interested with this and seemed to like that it is different than most learning tools like this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this in my small groups in first grade for my lower students. They really enjoyed using the pen to go over the letters. It kept them engaged and it was very helpful to keep them independent in their learning.

The pen reads everything as correct. So that pretty much defeats the purpose.

We strive for 100% customer satisfaction! It is very important to us that you enjoy all your purchases from Learning Resources. Here are some other tips I suggest for long-term use of our hot dots pens: · Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries. Alkaline preferred · Make sure pens tip is held straight up and down and is touching the center of the answer dot. · Make sure the tip of pen sits flat on the surface, avoiding a tilt. · Clean pens with a damp or dry cloth. Do not immerse or spray liquid or water on pens. Hope this helps!

Great interactive workbook!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a fun and interactive workbook for toddlers learning to read. I find the noises to be fun and the different pages are quite educational. You have a nice variety of different pages (sounding of words, rhyming, colors, what happens next in a sequence, and more). The book is nice and durable and the pen is chunky enough for a young child to hold and maneuver. Overall a great independent and engaging activity!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My preschooler is a visual learner who gets bored easily. I was able to keep her engaged and happy while she went through the notebook. We played games and she felt challenged enough to complete the book in one sitting!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is perfect for my 4 year old son! I'm not a teacher so it's hard for me to come up with educational activities at home sometimes, but this takes the work right out of it! My son loves to make the pen talk and the Pre-K book are just right for his learning level. I received this for free in exchange for my honest review, and I would definitely recommend this for any preschooler. I love that there are more levels for the future as well.

Works Wonders And Keeps Them Busy!

ashercain25 - 3 years ago
This reviewer received a free sample of this item
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product was simply amazing. It's easy to use, you just have to make sure that the pen is exactly on top of the dots. This keeps my Preschooler occupied for at least a minimum of an hour, and the best part is the fact that she's learning along the way. This product wouldn't work well for kids under three just because I don't think that they can quite grasp the concept of it. However, for children that are preschool age this would be perfect for them. I've tried it myself and it's a lot of fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this workbook. I am an educator and I am for anything that gets my kids interested in preliteracy skills. All three of my kids love playing with the pen and pushing on the hot dots. The green light and positive reinforcement sounds make them so excited! It's amazing watching them learn about letters and letter sounds while having so much fun.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this so much. It was interactive, engaging and a great way for my preschoolers to learn. I love that compared to a lot of other types of educational booklets, these booklets don't need dry erase markers (that I always forget to wash off and get stained) and can be used indefinitely without getting super warm out. I also noticed how exact my daughter likes to be when matching up the dots, helping her with her fine motor skills.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 5 year old enjoys practicing his letters with this. It keeps him entertained but it would be an amazing upgrade if the pen said the letters as they answered.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a stay at home mom to 2 toddlers, ages 1 and 3. My oldest recently dropped naps, and keeping him busy in the afternoons while my youngest naps, and I try to get some things done has been a challenge. I don't love resorting to screen time, but will if I absolutely need to. I gave him the Hot Dots learning book, and it's been a lifesaver! He's been having so much fun using it, and will actually sit down and spend a good chunk of time playing with it, while learning! A win in my book!

This pen will work for like 5 minutes then everything u push it on it reads as correct. It doesn't read the dots right so it makes it Not educational at all. It makes it pointless. The only way I've found to fix it is by taking the battery out and putting it back in. Then it'll work for about 5 minutes and then again it reads everything it touches as correct again. My daughter got this as a gift and it doesn't even work right, thats sad.
